Use our rumours form to send us liverpool transfer rumours.

02 Jan 2022 15:33:37
Was hoping against hope, that Thiago was available for today's game

02 Jan 2022 15:43:22
Leaves a bitter taste , two games running our opposition claiming we have no players then naming a virtually full strength team ?
02 Jan 2022 15:46:36
They have the added advantage of no Lukaku
02 Jan 2022 16:02:01
Afternoon lads
02 Jan 2022 16:02:42
Hi all, everyone alright?
02 Jan 2022 16:04:03
Good god. šŸ‘ what's the team news
02 Jan 2022 16:04:56
Worried about Kelleher starting to be honest but hopefully proves me wrong but major pressure on him
02 Jan 2022 16:07:04
Hell I was hoping that was false info about alli
02 Jan 2022 16:07:32
No Reece James is a good thing, they are a weaker side without him.
02 Jan 2022 16:10:08
Whos our midfield today?
02 Jan 2022 16:10:52
Fab, Hendo and Millie
02 Jan 2022 16:10:54
Millie, Fab and Hendo
02 Jan 2022 16:11:03
Surely Keita has to start today. Is he isnā€™t better than Milner then he should go asap
02 Jan 2022 16:11:53
We Shouid have one midfielder whose capable to carry the ball. Cannot believe Klopp keep persisting with Milner
02 Jan 2022 16:12:01
Million is solid but slowing. Keita should go Harvey
02 Jan 2022 16:12:06
Who else is he going to play?
02 Jan 2022 16:12:42
That's why we need Harvey back.
02 Jan 2022 16:13:11
Would of liked to seen Jones get a start
02 Jan 2022 16:13:14
What we need is this covid ****e to **** off already.
02 Jan 2022 16:13:29
That midfield doesn't fill me with confidence
02 Jan 2022 16:13:34
Jones still got the eye injury?
02 Jan 2022 16:14:07
Jones is on the bench
02 Jan 2022 16:14:07
Not sure to be honest but he's on the bench for now anyway
02 Jan 2022 16:14:30
Peri it's only missing thiago to be our best midfield...
02 Jan 2022 16:14:55
Two Ā£50 mill
02 Jan 2022 16:15:07
players on the bench for a 93 year old guy
02 Jan 2022 16:15:09
Only missing Thiago and that's the point
02 Jan 2022 16:16:08
The point is we have to dominate Chelsea and for that we need one midfielder who has the ability to do some with the ball unlike Milner and hendo who pass sideways
02 Jan 2022 16:16:27
Thiago is vastly overrated for me. Keita is useless 9 out of 10 games
02 Jan 2022 16:16:35
Milner is a better defensive option than Kieta. Don't forget we are playing at
02 Jan 2022 16:16:52
Away, not at Anfield
02 Jan 2022 16:16:57
What the heck is Fabinho then? Lol
02 Jan 2022 16:17:35
What, you expect him to do it on his own
02 Jan 2022 16:17:44
So hendo just passes sideways does he?
02 Jan 2022 16:18:01
Hoping Chelsea's young attack don't run rings around Milner who lacks in being able to keep up as we saw against Man City but should be more effective in the midfield
02 Jan 2022 16:18:16
Why did we sign OX and Keita then šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 16:18:53
Both them two should be shipped out ASAP
02 Jan 2022 16:18:59
James Milner lacks footballing intelligence. Doesnā€™t matter two ounce if he is defensive or offensive. Havertz would run rings around him
02 Jan 2022 16:20:24
Not sure about football intelligence, he's got the experience and I'm sure he knows lots about the game but being 35 is going to mean he's not going to be able to keep up as much
02 Jan 2022 16:20:38
Lacks football intelligence? No better pro than him pal, the guys getting old.
02 Jan 2022 16:21:05
Lacks football intelligence?? The guy has played for top teams, like forever
02 Jan 2022 16:21:29
Probably the most experience in the team to be honest
02 Jan 2022 16:21:45
Exactly jota...schoolboy statement
02 Jan 2022 16:23:42
Score predictions lads? I'm thinking positively and saying 3-1!
02 Jan 2022 16:24:52
Will be tough. Hopefully knick it 2-1 btts is a banker.
02 Jan 2022 16:26:23
Forwards need to perform
02 Jan 2022 16:31:20
We need to be solid in midfield, theyā€™re going to have players running from deep which is something weā€™ve struggled a lot with, we also have to hold possession and not give it away cheaply if we get ahead.
02 Jan 2022 16:31:20
Stupid from Mane
02 Jan 2022 16:31:54
He is doing this regularly......idiot !!!!! Not the way to start a game
02 Jan 2022 16:32:25
Afternoon lads. Hopefully 3 points today.
02 Jan 2022 16:32:36
In its own right a draw would be ok. In context of the season anything less than a win is giving more and more advantage to City
02 Jan 2022 16:32:38
Aftertoon mate
02 Jan 2022 16:34:16
Joined the matched slightly late. What did Mane do?
02 Jan 2022 16:34:24
Vvvv, I hope you're wrong and we come home with all 3 though
02 Jan 2022 16:34:54
BHA were unlucky not to have beaten them here last time
02 Jan 2022 16:35:03
Really early yellow from Mane
02 Jan 2022 16:35:22
Can't have the risk of another suspension
02 Jan 2022 16:35:22
Need to settle the game down
02 Jan 2022 16:35:38
Idiot
02 Jan 2022 16:35:43
Unlucky
02 Jan 2022 16:36:18
Mane ffs. Last thing we need is any red cards.
02 Jan 2022 16:36:56
Hes a headless chicken
02 Jan 2022 16:37:10
What a save. We need to get it together!
02 Jan 2022 16:37:16
We may need to sub him at HT to avoid that Alonso. But who comes in for him?
02 Jan 2022 16:37:46
wtf was that
02 Jan 2022 16:37:47
Save
02 Jan 2022 16:37:53
we have been very sloppy in possession so far
02 Jan 2022 16:38:19
Ugbes. Good point. We literally have no one.
02 Jan 2022 16:38:34
Should be a goal down by now.
02 Jan 2022 16:38:42
Get in
02 Jan 2022 16:38:43
is that superb goalkeepingor what?
02 Jan 2022 16:38:43
Whos on bench?
02 Jan 2022 16:38:44
Maneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
02 Jan 2022 16:38:55
goal!!
02 Jan 2022 16:38:58
sadio
02 Jan 2022 16:39:01
Think Mane heard us šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 16:39:06
Come on boys
02 Jan 2022 16:39:16
Get in
02 Jan 2022 16:39:19
What a way to atone
02 Jan 2022 16:39:27
Get in
02 Jan 2022 16:39:34
New Mane would score today. Every time he gets classed as "finished" he comes up with one
02 Jan 2022 16:39:40
Yes yes yesssssssssssssssssssssss...here we go !!!!!!
02 Jan 2022 16:39:46
Let's not do anything silly
02 Jan 2022 16:39:54
Oh Mane Mane
02 Jan 2022 16:40:16
Terrible defending haha
02 Jan 2022 16:40:36
That's how you punish a mistake.
02 Jan 2022 16:40:39
This game could be absolutely any score
02 Jan 2022 16:40:41
Haha, hopefully we keep this up
02 Jan 2022 16:40:59
By the way i think Kellehers quality
02 Jan 2022 16:41:09
agreed rum, both teams look vulnerable at the back
02 Jan 2022 16:41:15
Yeah good keeper
02 Jan 2022 16:41:28
He did well in that challenge Rum, will have done his confidence wonders.
02 Jan 2022 16:41:34
100% they'll score
02 Jan 2022 16:41:47
wonder how long he'll stay as understudy, surely he'd be after first team football soon?
02 Jan 2022 16:41:58
Poor kick
02 Jan 2022 16:42:23
Lots of pressure on kelleher in such a big game, hope he performs
02 Jan 2022 16:42:34
Im not being reactive but Allissons not been himself, if the lad does well he should stay in until otherwise
02 Jan 2022 16:42:38
Midfield getting overrun. Same old story
02 Jan 2022 16:42:57
He's dong just fine thus far....cool as a cucumber
02 Jan 2022 16:43:02
konate needs to sharpen his passing just putting trent under the kosh
02 Jan 2022 16:43:07
Cant wait till Elliots fit
02 Jan 2022 16:43:16
In milly
02 Jan 2022 16:43:33
Rum Lad. Iā€™m with you on that. Elliot brings something different.
02 Jan 2022 16:43:52
Fabs throwing himself around dangerously
02 Jan 2022 16:43:55
Could easily dnd up 4-4 this
02 Jan 2022 16:43:56
Our passing has been awful
02 Jan 2022 16:44:08
So sloppy
02 Jan 2022 16:44:15
passing has been woeful, need to sort it out
02 Jan 2022 16:44:26
or stop playing it out from the back
02 Jan 2022 16:44:26
Ether over hit or under hit
02 Jan 2022 16:44:36
can't even string a pass together
02 Jan 2022 16:44:40
It's the nerves
02 Jan 2022 16:44:42
Honest opinion, Hendos been off it a while too
02 Jan 2022 16:44:49
Very sloppy
02 Jan 2022 16:45:13
We look scared
02 Jan 2022 16:45:15
Certainly other midfield options on the bench luckily just in case
02 Jan 2022 16:45:52
Giving them far too much respect
02 Jan 2022 16:47:41
did he book pulisic?
02 Jan 2022 16:47:47
surely he did??
02 Jan 2022 16:47:51
Yeah
02 Jan 2022 16:47:56
Yeah he got a yellow
02 Jan 2022 16:48:00
Vvd what was that
02 Jan 2022 16:48:08
sloppy again van dijk to nobody there
02 Jan 2022 16:48:27
Need to keep the ball
02 Jan 2022 16:49:24
Need to ride this out and get on the ball.
02 Jan 2022 16:49:26
we just cannot keep the ball
02 Jan 2022 16:49:34
nobody getting near it
02 Jan 2022 16:49:39
Fabinho lunging at tacklesā€¦ he will get booked soon.
02 Jan 2022 16:49:51
Deffo alonso
02 Jan 2022 16:50:02
Too risky passees
02 Jan 2022 16:50:17
Surprised he's got away with some already
02 Jan 2022 16:50:18
both teams look nervy as hell
02 Jan 2022 16:50:39
oh trent!
02 Jan 2022 16:50:42
garbage
02 Jan 2022 16:50:57
Magico. Itā€™s weird because itā€™s not his game to be lunging like this. Hopefully he wakes up
02 Jan 2022 16:51:00
Dear me
02 Jan 2022 16:51:08
TAA ffs
02 Jan 2022 16:51:16
He better alonso
02 Jan 2022 16:53:28
We playing counter attacking football?
02 Jan 2022 16:53:35
Boys seem a little "wobbly" today...
02 Jan 2022 16:54:03
Maybe it's the result of Klopp not being on the bench
02 Jan 2022 16:54:25
At least we're still leading
02 Jan 2022 16:54:40
Theyre awful tho, badly out of form
02 Jan 2022 16:54:40
Yep
02 Jan 2022 16:54:56
Who rum? Us?
02 Jan 2022 16:55:05
Them bud
02 Jan 2022 16:55:11
When last have we scored from a corner????
02 Jan 2022 16:55:35
Man, Dixon has been every anti-Liverpool in his commentary today.
02 Jan 2022 16:55:41
Get in
02 Jan 2022 16:55:46
Love it!!!
02 Jan 2022 16:55:48
Mo jo
02 Jan 2022 16:55:55
Oh mooooo
02 Jan 2022 16:55:56
great goal!!
02 Jan 2022 16:55:57
Nothing to bloody see ladsā€¦. Just Salah.. doing Salah things šŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜ŽšŸ˜Ž
02 Jan 2022 16:55:57
Wow. What a goal.
02 Jan 2022 16:56:03
salah again produces the gold
02 Jan 2022 16:56:04
OMG...Salah you beauty
02 Jan 2022 16:56:18
Class
02 Jan 2022 16:56:46
Pure class
02 Jan 2022 16:56:54
Shut the chavs us :-D
02 Jan 2022 16:56:55
Throwing **** on pitch at him
02 Jan 2022 16:56:56
Well that's Jan goal of the month sorted
02 Jan 2022 16:57:05
Not playing well but hey
02 Jan 2022 16:57:15
Salaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
02 Jan 2022 16:57:19
how are we winning this 2-0 hahaha
02 Jan 2022 16:57:24
get in lads
02 Jan 2022 16:57:26
Won't be able to show that goal before the watershed
02 Jan 2022 16:57:29
Honestly chelsea are awful at the minute
02 Jan 2022 16:57:31
@dbav...when is any commentator ever in favour of Liverpool. They are so biased against us it's embarrassing
02 Jan 2022 16:57:32
Boys, tell me how we are 2-0 up šŸ¤£
02 Jan 2022 16:57:34
Taking our chances well! (clap)
02 Jan 2022 16:57:38
Salah is just class personified
02 Jan 2022 16:57:40
no idea vice
02 Jan 2022 16:57:53
chelsea mistake and pure class from salah
02 Jan 2022 16:57:57
We're doing what other people have done to us - made the most of our chances
02 Jan 2022 16:58:15
Ruthless up front......and they have to be today
02 Jan 2022 16:58:15
Midfield for us is shocking at the minute looked way more balanced with Elliot
02 Jan 2022 16:58:19
We are starting to play
02 Jan 2022 16:58:32
@JLCBM, fair statement, but usually they mask it well with some degree of neutrality. Dixon has been pretty obvious about it, haha.
02 Jan 2022 16:58:40
Peeps just remember were playing Chelsea away and both teams under huge pressure to win. It will be sloppy at times from both. Just win and we can build on that
02 Jan 2022 16:58:43
Rum....cant wait to Haverhill back
02 Jan 2022 16:58:52
Have him
02 Jan 2022 16:59:05
Maybe Keita, Ox or even Jones could be an option to bring on?
02 Jan 2022 16:59:08
To say our midfield is stale is an understatement. Has to be addressed in the summer.
02 Jan 2022 16:59:11
Me too Magico
02 Jan 2022 16:59:12
They're getting through our initial press too easily is what the problem is. But we can play on the counter from now
02 Jan 2022 16:59:33
I suppose Dixon also says that Arsenal are title challengers
02 Jan 2022 16:59:42
whatever happens do not bring keita on
02 Jan 2022 16:59:48
Rum...fear for the lad though...hes gonna get clattered week in week out
02 Jan 2022 16:59:56
we do not need someone bottling ouit of tackles in a game like this
02 Jan 2022 17:00:03
Yeah he deffo is bud
02 Jan 2022 17:00:43
Hendo is off his game as well today
02 Jan 2022 17:01:05
Thatā€™s a red card!!!!
02 Jan 2022 17:01:07
I feel like the front 3 are rotating well.
02 Jan 2022 17:01:16
He kicked him
02 Jan 2022 17:01:23
Whole midfield is erratic
02 Jan 2022 17:01:28
Very naughty Mr. Mount
02 Jan 2022 17:01:39
very dodgy like but doubt he'll see red
02 Jan 2022 17:01:56
Red that
02 Jan 2022 17:02:02
Not clear enough for a red
02 Jan 2022 17:02:05
nah dont think its red
02 Jan 2022 17:02:11
Mount is English...nothing will happen
02 Jan 2022 17:02:24
Kick as well
02 Jan 2022 17:02:27
Exactly J
02 Jan 2022 17:02:28
If it was Chelsea v City heā€™d be off.
02 Jan 2022 17:02:29
Not even a yellow????
02 Jan 2022 17:02:38
Why didnā€™t they play the initial lunge with his forearm?? I thought that was dangerous
02 Jan 2022 17:02:59
VaR can't give yellows
02 Jan 2022 17:02:59
Lol laughable that
02 Jan 2022 17:03:03
Joke
02 Jan 2022 17:03:03
i think the initial was worse than the kick
02 Jan 2022 17:03:07
certainly yellow
02 Jan 2022 17:03:20
Yeah, if Mane's elbow was a yellow, Mount's was too.
02 Jan 2022 17:03:21
Seano. Exactly the initial lunge was worse
02 Jan 2022 17:03:47
why fabino
02 Jan 2022 17:04:16
Mount challenge was just a bit of handbags tbh lads, don't wanna see reds for that
02 Jan 2022 17:04:33
me either viceroy, but yellow it should have been
02 Jan 2022 17:04:39
Hopefully we are not talking about Taylor's performance after the match
02 Jan 2022 17:04:49
Anyways donā€™t want them getting reds. Want to beat them with 11 men.
02 Jan 2022 17:04:50
These long balls in attack need to keep the ball for more options
02 Jan 2022 17:05:13
Weird how VAR can't give yellows, seems big if a player is already booked
02 Jan 2022 17:05:15
It's the nasty kick...as soft as it was. Its dirty mate
02 Jan 2022 17:05:26
If manes didn't happen 15 seconds in, I reckon they send him off
02 Jan 2022 17:05:50
The intention was there with the kick
02 Jan 2022 17:05:51
Not for me wyred
02 Jan 2022 17:06:08
Our midfield are providing absolutely nothing. No creativity and get ran through with ease
02 Jan 2022 17:06:44
Midfield needs addressing soon alonso
02 Jan 2022 17:07:05
Mount deserved yellow at worst. No card just shows the inconsistency and incompetence of the officials
02 Jan 2022 17:07:14
what a challenge from chalobah there
02 Jan 2022 17:07:44
Yeah vice but salah should of done more still
02 Jan 2022 17:07:49
Ram through with ease? Chelsea had 1 chance and that was caused by a defensive mistake
02 Jan 2022 17:07:50
he did well, could salah have passed it though?
02 Jan 2022 17:08:29
Salah is never passing that šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 17:08:29
Salah could have passed but he's Salah, so it was never an option haha
02 Jan 2022 17:08:32
Our midfield 3 are struggling against their midfield 5...
02 Jan 2022 17:08:43
never a foul, defender dives cos they messed up
02 Jan 2022 17:08:49
why do refs always give them
02 Jan 2022 17:08:57
Kante running thru them
02 Jan 2022 17:09:18
Let's keep things the same way before 2nd half
02 Jan 2022 17:09:32
seems like refs always favour the defensive player in those 50-50 challenges
02 Jan 2022 17:09:35
Oh no vvd
02 Jan 2022 17:10:18
He up yet?
02 Jan 2022 17:10:32
Milner why
02 Jan 2022 17:10:37
What is Milner doing? I mean really!
02 Jan 2022 17:10:38
silly milner
02 Jan 2022 17:10:57
I dont know what to make of Kelleher on the ball. He's been effective, but also scared me a few times, haha.
02 Jan 2022 17:11:11
Wtf are they doing today
02 Jan 2022 17:11:13
Milner off at half-time
02 Jan 2022 17:11:15
This worroes me
02 Jan 2022 17:11:18
Ffs
02 Jan 2022 17:11:21
looks yard off
02 Jan 2022 17:11:26
All stems from Milner
02 Jan 2022 17:11:36
Wow
02 Jan 2022 17:11:39
What a goal. Give it to Kovacic
02 Jan 2022 17:11:41
Off?
02 Jan 2022 17:11:42
damn
02 Jan 2022 17:11:57
Oh my!
02 Jan 2022 17:12:02
ffs
02 Jan 2022 17:12:08
Oh no
02 Jan 2022 17:12:12
Could Rudiger be offside
02 Jan 2022 17:12:14
Just shows the state of our squad. Milner love the guy but he is 35 and his legs have gone. Absolutely stupid challenge and this is the results
02 Jan 2022 17:12:18
outrageous goal like
02 Jan 2022 17:12:23
No
02 Jan 2022 17:12:35
I'll laugh if they don't give this
02 Jan 2022 17:12:42
Unreal goal like
02 Jan 2022 17:12:49
From the free kick though
02 Jan 2022 17:12:49
Milner may have conceded the foul, but that was pretty special...
02 Jan 2022 17:12:53
Ffs
02 Jan 2022 17:13:06
They've looked at the wrong offside
02 Jan 2022 17:13:22
or course it should be a goal, cant believe they checked it for that, tjhought they were checking it for the initial cross
02 Jan 2022 17:13:25
How is that onside?
02 Jan 2022 17:13:35
How is it off?
02 Jan 2022 17:13:42
Silly Time to conced
02 Jan 2022 17:13:52
Pricks making stupid tackles
02 Jan 2022 17:13:59
He could try that a thousand times more and not get that in. Utter fluke
02 Jan 2022 17:14:03
Ah well worldie, we knew thered be goals
02 Jan 2022 17:14:07
Was a great goal
02 Jan 2022 17:14:10
I stand by my view that we needed to buy another centre midfielder as we lack quality in depth.
02 Jan 2022 17:14:25
Rum Lad, Rudiger was in no way interfering with play... If it had come off the post and he had tapped it in, fair enough, but it went straight in
02 Jan 2022 17:14:33
To be fair, I would be proud if we scored that
02 Jan 2022 17:14:40
That steely nerve from Milner always leeds to a lot of indiscipline........
02 Jan 2022 17:14:42
+1 uGBES
02 Jan 2022 17:14:44
Needed over 2.5 for 650 after 4 other results so bitter sweet
02 Jan 2022 17:14:45
Worldie it may have been. But never would have happened if it werenā€™t for that stupid challenge, which werenā€™t needed.
02 Jan 2022 17:14:58
(sorry for shouting, :-D)
02 Jan 2022 17:15:08
(clap) rum
02 Jan 2022 17:15:18
If we take goals like that away we should give up
02 Jan 2022 17:15:18
it is what it is alonso, milner is almost 36, you expect lbored challenges
02 Jan 2022 17:15:24
Ffs
02 Jan 2022 17:15:24
Unbelievable
02 Jan 2022 17:15:37
You cannot make this up šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”šŸ˜”
02 Jan 2022 17:15:40
falling apart
02 Jan 2022 17:15:43
A 14yr old boy has cleaner sheets. We are bad
02 Jan 2022 17:15:44
this is a joke
02 Jan 2022 17:15:46
I give up
02 Jan 2022 17:15:47
Oh fook off liverpool
02 Jan 2022 17:16:14
And this is why we wonā€™t win the league
02 Jan 2022 17:16:25
What a joke
02 Jan 2022 17:16:31
Chelsea deserve to be level
02 Jan 2022 17:16:31
This team is falling apart
02 Jan 2022 17:16:34
why isnt van dijk running over to cover that? bizarre
02 Jan 2022 17:16:35
Ugh
02 Jan 2022 17:16:41
Lol Milner is a model pro šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 17:16:41
We are not getting to the ball 1st
02 Jan 2022 17:16:43
Better side
02 Jan 2022 17:16:46
Apparently we are well stocked in midfield.
02 Jan 2022 17:16:52
City will be happy
02 Jan 2022 17:16:54
I mean we didn't deserve to he two up tbh
02 Jan 2022 17:16:56
OK, my feed is running behind so I'm gonna log off from here! S-later...
02 Jan 2022 17:16:59
2-0 with 5 mins to go to half time and itā€™s 2-2 before half time. We are a joke at the moment
02 Jan 2022 17:17:00
This what happens when you refuse to proper strengthen the squad im afraid
02 Jan 2022 17:17:21
Agreed rum
02 Jan 2022 17:17:22
This is disgraceful
02 Jan 2022 17:17:33
This team cannot be serious. We had 5 minutes left of the half... How could you bottle it now!?!?
02 Jan 2022 17:17:33
our defence is a joke
02 Jan 2022 17:17:38
Been poor all game and don't deserve to be in it
02 Jan 2022 17:17:45
Only going to get worse this lot
02 Jan 2022 17:17:54
Milner is doing nothing
02 Jan 2022 17:18:00
Defence is over exposed by lack of control in midfield
02 Jan 2022 17:18:02
look at the build up to that goal though, henderson with a stupid pass that put trent under pressure, then were second to every ball, then konate is out of position, then van dijk doesnt cover
02 Jan 2022 17:18:08
collectively poor
02 Jan 2022 17:18:11
Our defensive is terrible as well and not helped by the fact our stale midfield offers zero protection
02 Jan 2022 17:18:11
Never seen us give the ball away so much
02 Jan 2022 17:18:13
Bring on Jones
02 Jan 2022 17:18:13
Weve gone 2 up and theyve got heads down to gifting 2 and they have heads up
02 Jan 2022 17:18:15
They'll destroy us in the second half
02 Jan 2022 17:18:22
Wondering what Keita must do lol
02 Jan 2022 17:18:24
Can anyone genuinely blame Salah if he left the club?? Without him we would be around mid table. Props up the rest of these **** players...
02 Jan 2022 17:18:26
Do our boys realise they are allowed to make a tackle
02 Jan 2022 17:18:31
Donā€™t see what difference Jones would make with respect to him.
02 Jan 2022 17:18:32
And here comes the doom and gloom. Laters.
02 Jan 2022 17:18:58
No chance of the league this year, will get worse when mane and Sarah go to ancon.
02 Jan 2022 17:19:02
Ive said for weeks we duck out of a lot of tackles
02 Jan 2022 17:19:11
passing, the simplest skill in football, has been badly lacking by us
02 Jan 2022 17:19:14
hsf do you accept that ?
02 Jan 2022 17:19:26
Hsf. See you later
02 Jan 2022 17:19:32
the makings of an absolute classic under the floodlights
02 Jan 2022 17:19:38
Salah will go....and this lot are screwed
02 Jan 2022 17:19:40
We need a sub at HT surely?
02 Jan 2022 17:20:05
van dijk sloppy again
02 Jan 2022 17:20:06
The league was never on, but, I was hoping we would look like challengers, at least. We are not even that. We are a top 4 side, plain and simple. We used to be title winners, but, we didn't improve and City did...
02 Jan 2022 17:20:12
I thought havertz fouled van dijk on their 2nd goal tbh
02 Jan 2022 17:20:12
Cant complain on here its not allowed, its why i dont use the main page much anymore
02 Jan 2022 17:20:16
2 nil up we could of matched their midfield
02 Jan 2022 17:20:17
Ugbes, have a look at the bench, who can we bring in that will actually change things?
02 Jan 2022 17:20:21
they shouldnt be this sloppy in a game of this magnitude
02 Jan 2022 17:20:27
hahahha, You'll Never Walk Alone eh ?
02 Jan 2022 17:21:02
Blind faith doesnā€™t win matches.
02 Jan 2022 17:21:04
you'll never be able to offer comments or opinions because if you say something negative youre somehow less of a fan?
02 Jan 2022 17:21:10
grow up flash
02 Jan 2022 17:21:10
After the first 10 mins I would of taken being level at ht. Yes its far from ideal but all to play for
02 Jan 2022 17:21:17
Exactly Seano
02 Jan 2022 17:21:20
VvVV Jones or Keith. Not sure they'll be any worse than Milner in particular
02 Jan 2022 17:21:33
Seano. šŸ’Æ
02 Jan 2022 17:21:35
Yep can't upset the super fans
02 Jan 2022 17:21:40
We knew itd be tight
02 Jan 2022 17:22:10
Yep no surprise but to give 2 goals away like that...poor
02 Jan 2022 17:22:10
How many times we blown a 2-0 lead this season
02 Jan 2022 17:22:15
keita will get slaughtered if he gets brought on, wouldnot bring him on
02 Jan 2022 17:22:22
The fact that we are playing a 35 year old James Milner in one of our most important games of the season, tells you everything about this club.
02 Jan 2022 17:22:23
ox maybe is ox on the bench?
02 Jan 2022 17:22:27
Milner has made some brilluant tackles, im not understanding the hate
02 Jan 2022 17:22:47
What happened to our defence? We used to be defensively sound but seems like a distant memory.
02 Jan 2022 17:22:50
he's also looked a little leggy at times and his needless foul lead to their 1st goal
02 Jan 2022 17:22:57
Hate? Strong word there
02 Jan 2022 17:22:58
Milner has made some brilliant recovering tackles...there is a difference
02 Jan 2022 17:23:06
He's all over the place positionally Pars. Tbh, Hendo isn't far behind them
02 Jan 2022 17:23:08
Problem is we keep losing the ball in midfield, Milner looks his age and is a passenger, weā€™re not exactly brimming with options on the bench. Holding on for a draw seems impossible given we keep making basic errors.
02 Jan 2022 17:23:09
*him
02 Jan 2022 17:23:14
I'm absolutely fuming i really am.
02 Jan 2022 17:23:15
Ox offers nothing but sulking and be anonymous
02 Jan 2022 17:23:15
i dont think he has been bad, but i think questions about whether he is suitable at the very highest level like this game are valid
02 Jan 2022 17:23:21
Yes there is a difference, thats why i said tackles? Lol
02 Jan 2022 17:23:23
It's not milners fault why he's on that pitch though is it
02 Jan 2022 17:23:39
Chelsea just banging balls over the top and running on to them. It works unfortunately
02 Jan 2022 17:23:47
Whoever takes the lead in the 2nd half will likely win this
02 Jan 2022 17:23:55
Defence was out of position for 2nd goal, couldn't do much about 1st
02 Jan 2022 17:23:59
A lot of hate for Milner, I'd be looking at the defenders, VVD is really loose on the ball, and tracking back and position ally poor
02 Jan 2022 17:23:59
That foul was stupid. You just knew theyā€™d score coz of that, itā€™s totally milners fault it was stupidity
02 Jan 2022 17:24:01
Yes they are gin
02 Jan 2022 17:24:21
Chelsea will destroy us in the 2nd half
02 Jan 2022 17:24:27
McGoveb our midfield is exposing the defenders time and again.
02 Jan 2022 17:24:28
Magico. I agree. Milner is being picked and just doing the best he can do which is unfortunately not good enough due to his age. It just sums up the state of our squad
02 Jan 2022 17:24:29
Yes, very tight game.......but if Pulisic scores in the beginning or Salah later on, then it's a different game......
02 Jan 2022 17:24:32
Such positivity
02 Jan 2022 17:24:35
Pressing's not up to scratch. Our midfield is pushing onto Kante & Kovacic when they get, but their starting position is too deep so the ball's been moved by the time we get there and they can overload one of the flanks
02 Jan 2022 17:24:39
Unfortunately the defence is still relyng on Van Dijk to be at his perilous best, to command and dictate... But, the injury has robbed him of all that. We have a shell in his place. Plus, everyone knows Trent is our real weakness in defence, so, they target him... We have become predictable to play against...
02 Jan 2022 17:24:40
Nah salah to score 2 more
02 Jan 2022 17:24:42
Konate too far up the pitch and TAA with him, we have no idea how to hold onto a lead, ZERO
02 Jan 2022 17:24:43
Peri you don't know that
02 Jan 2022 17:24:47
HT can resolve this.
02 Jan 2022 17:24:52
No they will not destroy us. They play with 11 just like us......quit with the drama
02 Jan 2022 17:25:03
Ugbes, Peri is one of the blokes on here who has a fetish for us losing
02 Jan 2022 17:25:08
Still a major chance we can win this, another 45 minutes left yet
02 Jan 2022 17:25:09
Cos he gets to be right
02 Jan 2022 17:25:14
Hate it when we struggle but at least today it's toe to toe both sides in it, sometimes we have to give credit to the opposition
02 Jan 2022 17:25:15
jota's pressing is abysmal at times, its not the cause of our woes or anything but he just doesnt do it cohesively with everyone else
02 Jan 2022 17:25:18
I expect 3-3 final score here
02 Jan 2022 17:25:22
Negaive Mango on chat again
02 Jan 2022 17:25:36
I will remember that Something Red
02 Jan 2022 17:25:39
WE WILL WIN
02 Jan 2022 17:25:43
VVVV, defend, it's in their title, not really doing it though, we are all attack attack attack I.
02 Jan 2022 17:25:53
This is two challengers knowing a draw wasn't going to be enough. There's plenty of life in this yet
02 Jan 2022 17:25:54
i'm going for 6-5,keita with an injury time piledriver because i've been pleading for us not to bring him on
02 Jan 2022 17:25:57
Disappointing last 5 mins. But letā€™s come out swinging and get an early goal. We can still win this if we actually wake up.
02 Jan 2022 17:26:13
Exactly
02 Jan 2022 17:26:18
Pep will fire them up
02 Jan 2022 17:26:30
Great game for the neutrals, and for City supporters
02 Jan 2022 17:26:34
Something red cop on I hate losing and less of the personal attacks
02 Jan 2022 17:26:47
i think if we adopt a more counter attacking style, have mane and salah coming back deep to help full backs, we can puniohs these on the break and be a bit more solid at the back
02 Jan 2022 17:26:51
Itā€™s the midfieldā€™s job to screen the defence in this system, if theyā€™re not doing that then theyā€™re superfluous.
02 Jan 2022 17:26:51
I think a bit of a change in shape in midfield could be the trick here. Jota needs to drop into a deeper no. 9 role to assist the midfield 3
02 Jan 2022 17:26:56
Negative, or, realist?? I've said this for time, recruitment failed us and we are no longer champions material... If you wanna put your head in the sand and pretend everything is rosy then fine, but, I can't remain blind to this..
02 Jan 2022 17:26:56
Defensive positioning was shocking for the 2nd goal
02 Jan 2022 17:27:14
Plenty of time left. Chelsea are just as open as us. I do think we will get another. Could be decided by a red card
02 Jan 2022 17:27:19
Seano's, Jota's goals cover over the fact that he needs to do more work without the ball. His link play needs work and he doesn't work hard enough when we've not got the ball. Other top 6 teams away are games where I'd always pick Firmino
02 Jan 2022 17:27:26
But he's not available today
02 Jan 2022 17:27:26
there were at least 4 players, possibly 5, at fault for the second goal
02 Jan 2022 17:27:29
Jl that should happen when we're 2 nil up
02 Jan 2022 17:27:40
Jota isn't the problem, he has been a genuine spark for us...
02 Jan 2022 17:27:40
Head in the sand is far better than head up the ass
02 Jan 2022 17:27:51
Just seen the second Chelsea goal again. Why didnā€™t VVD come across?
02 Jan 2022 17:27:58
agreed something red jota is getting by on his goals, his overall contribution to our play isnt good enough at the moment
02 Jan 2022 17:28:01
VVVV, seriously you cant blame the defense every flocking time, the ball gets through, around or past midfielders numerous times, its then the DEFENDERS job to stop it
02 Jan 2022 17:28:04
his link up especially is very poor
02 Jan 2022 17:28:09
What a poor game from us
02 Jan 2022 17:28:13
Problem is a weak midfield, has been for a while
02 Jan 2022 17:28:18
Sorry, cant blame the midfield every time
02 Jan 2022 17:28:23
Peri, I only see you on here when things are going badly. Sorry if you don't like being judged by the thing you say.
02 Jan 2022 17:28:29
i asked the4 same question alonso
02 Jan 2022 17:28:37
Agree with you Mango. You canā€™t pretend itā€™s all alright, as it isnā€™t. Weā€™ve been left behind and face being left further behind because of the possibility of losing Salah & Mane for peanuts.
02 Jan 2022 17:28:45
Theres nothing really on the bench to change this
02 Jan 2022 17:28:47
van dijk just held his position for some reason it was bizarre
02 Jan 2022 17:28:48
Did the whole team have covid, because these players are playing as if they are sick
02 Jan 2022 17:28:54
Was shocking from vvd on that 2nd
02 Jan 2022 17:29:14
Konate caught off guard as well
02 Jan 2022 17:29:20
We'll win 4-2 these are awful in defence
02 Jan 2022 17:29:23
henderson, trent, konate, van dijk, none covered themselves with glory for that 2nd
02 Jan 2022 17:29:25
I could just tell chelsea were going to get back into this game
02 Jan 2022 17:29:25
The fact we are even competing is a miracle tbh, we are so far behind the investment of Chelsea and City its not even funny
02 Jan 2022 17:29:33
theyā€™ll probably win it now
02 Jan 2022 17:29:46
Rum lol....because we're great
02 Jan 2022 17:29:46
Seano. Must have missed it. But itā€™s strange he just jogged in a straight line and allowed Pulisic to just ran at goal. Anyways second half. Come on you Reds!!
02 Jan 2022 17:29:57
if we adjust at half time we've every chance of winning
02 Jan 2022 17:29:58
Something Red i only signed up 3 weeks ago so stop talking nonsense. Maybe I'll be a super fan like you some day. #idiot
02 Jan 2022 17:30:03
All the kids throwing the toys out the pram - comical
02 Jan 2022 17:30:03
The worst thing VVVV is that I can see this situation getting worse, not just in terms of this match but the future too. We are being left behind by City and now Chelsea, we needed suitable additions, instead FSG gave us scraps. Klopp can only do so much...
02 Jan 2022 17:30:23
Jesus christ, i cant take this chat, it is actually like walking into suicidal anonymous anytime something bad happens
02 Jan 2022 17:30:36
We won't win the league, we are pretty average if you take out our a few which says alot about this team
02 Jan 2022 17:30:36
And why no one on the edge of the box for the first one, entire pub here screaming about the Chelsea players at the edge of the box, seriously were are the leaders, 2 up to this is again poor and it's not due to Cheksea being great let's be honest
02 Jan 2022 17:30:42
whose throwing toys out the pram flash? were just discussing the game and our shortcomings, every team has them, whats the problem?
02 Jan 2022 17:30:53
Did Gary Neville just come?
02 Jan 2022 17:30:54
I mean we just threw away a 2-0 leadā€¦
02 Jan 2022 17:31:04
its like kiddy day care. Toys thrown out all the prams
02 Jan 2022 17:31:14
He does that every game doesn't he, Jono?
02 Jan 2022 17:31:18
"OOOH OHHH!"
02 Jan 2022 17:31:19
Mango what do you expect FSG to do? They can only work within the remit of FFP. They can't just pump money into us even if they wanted to
02 Jan 2022 17:31:23
so we're not allowed to discuss the game gini?
02 Jan 2022 17:31:33
thats bollocks Wt red
02 Jan 2022 17:31:36
Any form of negativity is derided and categorised as a bad supporter. It is all they have Seano, thankfully it is easy to ignore.
02 Jan 2022 17:31:36
Disgusting the noises he makes when teams score against liverpool
02 Jan 2022 17:31:39
Apparently not seano
02 Jan 2022 17:31:41
I think we can still win this. Just need to settle down and play our game. Chelsea are defensively suspect (so are we) just need to get the forwards on the ball more
02 Jan 2022 17:31:54
apparently we have to be content with throwing away a 2-0 lead šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 17:31:55
of course seano, its the bleaters im on about
02 Jan 2022 17:31:59
Chelsea posted a loss of Ā£126 mill for the year and i expect them to splash another Ā£200 mill in the summer
02 Jan 2022 17:32:01
@Jono, was that a deliberate pun on the word "come"...(rofl)
02 Jan 2022 17:32:03
We didn't throw a two goal lead they scored two quality goals, give the other side credit
02 Jan 2022 17:32:08
agreed alonso, when we have moved the ball quick and accurate we've cut them apart
02 Jan 2022 17:32:12
Flashthered, it's a banter page, jesus christ can we not show our emotions and pain here now too? It's getting as bad the main site, this is where emotions are displayed, its live banter
02 Jan 2022 17:32:24
We'll be lucky not to get spanked here now. We've been pathetic to be fair
02 Jan 2022 17:32:25
need to stop them walkzing through the midfield though its hurting us badly
02 Jan 2022 17:32:32
I dont think you can call a wonder goal and an oppodition who have been the better team, throwing away a 2 goal lead
02 Jan 2022 17:32:40
You mean the Brexit midfield lol
02 Jan 2022 17:32:54
We are not a team that can play against momentum and turn things around, either we set the pace or we crumble, our midfield is useless, why is Milner even still playing, he is detrimental to our team plays
02 Jan 2022 17:32:57
be mad but maybe change to 4-4-2, have jota as CAM?
02 Jan 2022 17:32:57
It's obvious to many of us...our midfield is our weak point...Hendo and Milner don't seem to play well together.......
02 Jan 2022 17:32:59
We will win
02 Jan 2022 17:33:11
just to put an extra body in midfield tomake it harder for them
02 Jan 2022 17:33:18
Salah hasnā€™t finished yet
02 Jan 2022 17:33:39
Chelsea make plenty of money through transfers, players you've never heard of because they are predominantly on loan. City make a fair bit on transfers too.
02 Jan 2022 17:33:40
Hendo, bless his soul, is not the quality we need, I am still trying to see what he adds to our play another than just keep the ball moving
02 Jan 2022 17:33:41
And bringing in Keita or Ox is like praying for rain the summer.....maybe yes maybe no.......but anyway, yes WE WILL WIN
02 Jan 2022 17:33:44
ARAY yeah midfield is crap but so is the defence
02 Jan 2022 17:33:45
We have to stop losing the ball cheaply, we have to win it back quickly and we have to retain it or use it well, we werenā€™t doing those things which is why we spunked a two goal lead
02 Jan 2022 17:33:46
Its half time. Were drawing. Chelsea will tire. My fingers are crossed
02 Jan 2022 17:33:57
It's about perspective for me, I just think sometimes we overreact to a single result. Or even a single half. We were brilliant with loads of squad depth about 3 game ago when we dumped a full strength Leicester out with half a reserve time
02 Jan 2022 17:33:58
Hendo has been struggling for form for a while whoever has played, i've a feeling he's not 100% fit
02 Jan 2022 17:34:05
Like, which is it? :p
02 Jan 2022 17:34:21
Something red are hear the ED's are nominating you for the least critical fan of the year award šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘ well done
02 Jan 2022 17:34:24
were both red
02 Jan 2022 17:34:26
I think at least we should have dropped a body into midfield to see out the half
02 Jan 2022 17:34:33
excellent at times, and recently pretty poor
02 Jan 2022 17:34:33
See that Tuchel celebrating in Peps face there. I wanna crush these prickss
02 Jan 2022 17:34:34
I don't want to have sex with you Peri
02 Jan 2022 17:34:37
Hendo has been awful
02 Jan 2022 17:34:43
Lads, we got to think about the people who are out, Robbo due to suspension, Thiago, Alisson, Firmino and more. I'm sure once they're back we'll be back to dominating
02 Jan 2022 17:34:56
Well said Something Red....I agree
02 Jan 2022 17:34:57
Well said SR. We are playing Chelsea away and a high pressure match. There will be mistakes by both bit I think we done well. Chelsea had 3 chances. One was a mistake, one was a great volley. We could've done better for their 2nd goal though
02 Jan 2022 17:35:00
Hendo is coming off an illness, isn't he?
02 Jan 2022 17:35:05
Bobby's been unavailable all season though
02 Jan 2022 17:35:11
Basically speaking
02 Jan 2022 17:35:12
CMON THE REDS !!!!!!!!!!
02 Jan 2022 17:35:18
Weirdo
02 Jan 2022 17:35:21
tsimikas has been good so robertson isnt being especially missed, thiago is always on the verge of injury and we knew that before we signed him
02 Jan 2022 17:35:25
Problem is. Who do you play instead if Henderson? Not like weā€™re overloaded with actual quality in that area.
02 Jan 2022 17:35:39
Jones?
02 Jan 2022 17:35:51
Biggest factor as most of us know....squad isn't big enough
02 Jan 2022 17:35:53
when jones is more established and elliott is back the picture will look a little healthier
02 Jan 2022 17:36:01
I think Firmino's contributions are beginning to slow, to be fair. He is getting older, picking up covid will certainly not help his conditioning. Plus, he was never a consistent scorer.
02 Jan 2022 17:36:17
Bissouma or Kessie could be the solution.......the window has opened .......
02 Jan 2022 17:36:29
Not Kessingland
02 Jan 2022 17:36:29
Goals / minutes played ratio is probably the best he's had in 5 years since he's been able to play so little
02 Jan 2022 17:36:31
kessie aint the solution
02 Jan 2022 17:36:34
Did that liner forget the rule then?
02 Jan 2022 17:36:42
No but has never been known for goal scoring really Bobbie
02 Jan 2022 17:36:47
Bobby was going well before he was injured, was he not?
02 Jan 2022 17:36:50
Kessie, most likely. I would love Bissouma but suspect we will go for the cheaper option.
02 Jan 2022 17:36:50
Still think not replacing Gini was a bad idea, for the most part he was a 7/10 performer week in week out, could retain the ball and worked his arse off to win it back or press, we are missing that in midfield.
02 Jan 2022 17:36:53
He could have been wrong
02 Jan 2022 17:36:59
Konate needs to be stronger...he'll learn. Still young
02 Jan 2022 17:37:01
Kessie is dog ****e. Bissouma on the other handā€¦
02 Jan 2022 17:37:09
No money for any1
02 Jan 2022 17:37:22
Bissouma established in Prem
02 Jan 2022 17:37:26
Itā€™s going to be Kessie or Sanches. Both are ****e.
02 Jan 2022 17:37:43
We are dog****e at the moment so you never know
02 Jan 2022 17:37:56
gini could put a boot in and he could help us control midfield, unspectacular and played well within himself, but sometimes exactly what is needed. the injuries have meant that we have missed him
02 Jan 2022 17:38:00
Bissouma is class. He would be my choice.
02 Jan 2022 17:38:02
Lille want rid of sanches as he's always injured
02 Jan 2022 17:38:10
Sloppy
02 Jan 2022 17:38:14
Bissouma would improve us immensely.
02 Jan 2022 17:38:27
The problem is we allowed our most consistently available midfielder, in Gini, to leave and now, due to midfield injuries, we don't have that consistent midfield choice selection. It is all mix and match. We really could have used him now more than ever.
02 Jan 2022 17:38:36
Yep but no money as u know vvv
02 Jan 2022 17:38:37
bissouma would be good but he's got some dodgy off field stuff
02 Jan 2022 17:38:48
Broke as a joke.
02 Jan 2022 17:39:01
Which he has not been convicts of Seano
02 Jan 2022 17:39:10
Disgrace for a club like Liverpool
02 Jan 2022 17:39:17
Innocent until proven otherwise
02 Jan 2022 17:39:29
Isn't bissouma being investigated for sexual assault?? Would need to wait to see what happens there before moving, I think...
02 Jan 2022 17:39:36
We need to start being a bit quicker to the ball.
02 Jan 2022 17:39:45
Innocent until proven guilty
02 Jan 2022 17:39:59
i know innocent until proven otherwise but i think we should wait until it is proven that he is innocent before making a move
02 Jan 2022 17:40:14
Agreed, Seano...
02 Jan 2022 17:40:16
Is it a serial assault? I thought he kicked off with bouncers
02 Jan 2022 17:40:16
Milner seems slow to everything
02 Jan 2022 17:40:23
how many soft freekicks has the ref gave chalobah? jesus
02 Jan 2022 17:40:27
Fair point Seano
02 Jan 2022 17:40:33
Milner is about 300 years old
02 Jan 2022 17:40:36
We need to be 1st to the ball
02 Jan 2022 17:40:47
Not just Chalbah Seano
02 Jan 2022 17:41:05
Again stupid silly passes
02 Jan 2022 17:41:15
We will WIN. We must believe
02 Jan 2022 17:41:17
We should of strengthened 2 seasons ago
02 Jan 2022 17:41:22
lost count of how many times kante has just ghosted past fabinho
02 Jan 2022 17:41:48
Ox or jones for milly
02 Jan 2022 17:41:53
With what money Magico? It hurts but its what it I unfortunately
02 Jan 2022 17:41:55
I would love for Milner to score the winner today...
02 Jan 2022 17:42:12
?100/
02 Jan 2022 17:42:15
this ref needs to start penalizing their blatant pulling
02 Jan 2022 17:42:42
Rudiger is just a pure thug....
02 Jan 2022 17:42:42
JLCBM. Same here but he looks so behind the pace of the game itā€™s actually sad to see.
02 Jan 2022 17:43:00
oh jota! god
02 Jan 2022 17:43:07
Offside
02 Jan 2022 17:43:13
Kanta has to much influence in there midfield
02 Jan 2022 17:43:16
++
02 Jan 2022 17:43:23
jota needs to learn to control and pass a ball
02 Jan 2022 17:43:26
Time has caught up with Milner.
02 Jan 2022 17:43:46
@Alonso, yes he's been poor, but so have many other players. He's being made out to be the scapegoat
02 Jan 2022 17:43:53
Yes it has vvvv. Can't keep flogging a dead horse
02 Jan 2022 17:43:54
20
02 Jan 2022 17:43:55

02 Jan 2022 17:44:43
Ff mana
02 Jan 2022 17:44:49
terrible from mane
02 Jan 2022 17:44:49
JLCBM. I said earlier it ainā€™t his fault he is old, his legs have gone and he is being made to play.
02 Jan 2022 17:44:51
terrible
02 Jan 2022 17:44:57
Cmon Mane...
02 Jan 2022 17:45:06
Come on mane
02 Jan 2022 17:45:24
So Mane knew he was offside but still went for the ball instead of leaving it for Salah
02 Jan 2022 17:45:25
mane needs to keep himself onside as well
02 Jan 2022 17:45:41
Shocking
02 Jan 2022 17:45:56
Milner hasn't necessarily been our worst player though today...that's my point
02 Jan 2022 17:46:02
This is bad
02 Jan 2022 17:46:03
shame taki is injured i'd of thrown him on for sure
02 Jan 2022 17:46:08
Is this a competition to see who can slag their own team/players the most ?
02 Jan 2022 17:46:14
I think Hendo has been worse
02 Jan 2022 17:46:16
Someone **** stop Kante!!
02 Jan 2022 17:46:42
Time for a sub for milly surely
02 Jan 2022 17:46:43
JLCBM. We are in agreement.
02 Jan 2022 17:46:47
That was almost unreal
02 Jan 2022 17:46:49
What a shot by Salah
02 Jan 2022 17:46:50
What an effort
02 Jan 2022 17:46:53
Fuck!!
02 Jan 2022 17:46:55
so close
02 Jan 2022 17:47:01
good save
02 Jan 2022 17:47:02
Kanta needs man marking
02 Jan 2022 17:47:11
What a hit and save!! Wow!!
02 Jan 2022 17:47:25
actually was more central then i thought
02 Jan 2022 17:47:29
good save but should of saved it
02 Jan 2022 17:47:31
JLCBM. I dont even think Milner has been our worst midfielder, for me thats Hendo
02 Jan 2022 17:47:41
if more accurate its probably a goal
02 Jan 2022 17:47:43
Kanter needs more than man marking to stop him
02 Jan 2022 17:47:46
wow wow wow........this Mendy is clear World Class
02 Jan 2022 17:48:02
It's a easy save
02 Jan 2022 17:48:23
Save again
02 Jan 2022 17:48:25
Tbh this is a right game!
02 Jan 2022 17:48:28
Kante is class. Thatā€™s why we need Bissouma
02 Jan 2022 17:48:35
It's coming peeps....
02 Jan 2022 17:48:36
good save, poor effort
02 Jan 2022 17:48:36
Konate should of scored
02 Jan 2022 17:49:10
Theirs a red card looming in this game
02 Jan 2022 17:49:11
Konate should be scoring a fair few goals, what with his height
02 Jan 2022 17:49:36
bit harsh to be criticizing our centre back for not scoring like
02 Jan 2022 17:49:48
Silver has had not to work in this game
02 Jan 2022 17:50:13
Can see us scoring soon
02 Jan 2022 17:50:17
is divock on the bench?
02 Jan 2022 17:50:28
Seano. Donā€™t think so
02 Jan 2022 17:50:31
Can see us winning thisšŸ’Æ
02 Jan 2022 17:50:34
Heā€™s hurt
02 Jan 2022 17:50:40
WE WILL WIN
02 Jan 2022 17:50:43
Who?
02 Jan 2022 17:50:59
Hendo has been terrible. Actually he has been poor for a while now.
02 Jan 2022 17:51:23
damn divock injured too? we're thin on the ground eh
02 Jan 2022 17:51:37
Tell you what...with all the resources, it says alot that Mendy seems to be their best player
02 Jan 2022 17:51:37
I'd just to see a formation change every now and again
02 Jan 2022 17:51:59
Wtf Jota
02 Jan 2022 17:52:01
What a save Kelleher
02 Jan 2022 17:52:01
what a save
02 Jan 2022 17:52:06
Jota is so slow
02 Jan 2022 17:52:29
were starting to lose control again
02 Jan 2022 17:52:32
Oh dear
02 Jan 2022 17:52:56
To be fair to the forwards there is no link from the midfield to them. The midfield and forwards are disjointed.
02 Jan 2022 17:53:03
If we had Bobby from a few years back we would steam roller teams in games like this. As much as jota can score his link up isn't the best
02 Jan 2022 17:53:17
Giving possession away all game
02 Jan 2022 17:53:21
Need a sub
02 Jan 2022 17:53:24
jotas link up is non existant
02 Jan 2022 17:53:29
They are bringing chamberlain on
02 Jan 2022 17:53:49
he's capable of popping up with goals but theres no link up with the team at all
02 Jan 2022 17:53:53
Naby and Ox. Has to be for Hendo and Milner
02 Jan 2022 17:53:54
Gotta remember jota should be on left
02 Jan 2022 17:53:55
And Keita
02 Jan 2022 17:54:01
Miller off we hope and jota
02 Jan 2022 17:54:06
Isn't Jota like 21 or somewhere there about?
02 Jan 2022 17:54:18
Ox and Keita for Milnwr and Jota I presume
02 Jan 2022 17:54:21
jota like 25 right?
02 Jan 2022 17:54:23
Have a feeling Klopp is on the blower saying take of Jota, which would be a poor move in my opinion
02 Jan 2022 17:54:43
Hardly take Hemdo off
02 Jan 2022 17:54:48
Hendo
02 Jan 2022 17:54:49
Leave jota on. Sort the mid
02 Jan 2022 17:54:53
Jota must stay on the pitch
02 Jan 2022 17:55:01
Yeah Jota is 25-26 or thereabouts
02 Jan 2022 17:55:17
That was a good ball from salah
02 Jan 2022 17:55:31
Jota has to stay on. He has the ability to score out of nowhere. Milner and Hendo have been poor.
02 Jan 2022 17:55:54
Come on reds
02 Jan 2022 17:56:19
Have the subs been made yet
02 Jan 2022 17:56:29
not yet
02 Jan 2022 17:56:51
seems a long time since we scored from a corner
02 Jan 2022 17:57:12
OK.. born in 96. 25 years old
02 Jan 2022 17:57:16
corners are just hard to score from these days
02 Jan 2022 17:58:01
Our mid is overrun
02 Jan 2022 17:58:19
Out numbered
02 Jan 2022 17:58:31
Need Thiago in a game like this
02 Jan 2022 17:58:53
Not out numbered as much as the gap in quality is just too big.
02 Jan 2022 17:59:06
A tiellemans would do me
02 Jan 2022 17:59:08
jota and milner off, keita and ox on
02 Jan 2022 17:59:10
Goal scorer taken off
02 Jan 2022 17:59:12
Think the ox is better on the ball than jota, but not sure on Naby
02 Jan 2022 17:59:13
I knew it. Jota off. Klopp always does this with Jota. How Hendo stayed on is beyond me
02 Jan 2022 17:59:13
The bottler is coming onšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļøšŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø
02 Jan 2022 17:59:21
keita worries me
02 Jan 2022 17:59:23
Tielemans is lazy as f***
02 Jan 2022 17:59:31
Would love to see ox get the winner
02 Jan 2022 17:59:32
he is capable of getting a goal though
02 Jan 2022 17:59:34
Time for Keita to shine :-)
02 Jan 2022 17:59:41
Can score some worldies
02 Jan 2022 17:59:51
Not in this game. Game is too physical for Keita
02 Jan 2022 17:59:56
keita actually has a good attacking instinct, if he plays firther forward he might do well
02 Jan 2022 17:59:58
It's not a nasty game and chelsea arent really launching tackles into us so Keita may be ok
02 Jan 2022 18:00:02
Anyone else think that Jorginho looks like notorious sex offender Rolf Harris?
02 Jan 2022 18:00:06
Keith can teach Kovacic a thing or two (rofl)
02 Jan 2022 18:00:08
lol
02 Jan 2022 18:00:17
he defo looks like a sex offender
02 Jan 2022 18:00:18
Behave VVVV :p
02 Jan 2022 18:00:49
put ox on the arse of Silva
02 Jan 2022 18:01:02
On for their var pen
02 Jan 2022 18:01:26
Donā€™t say that Magico. It might happen
02 Jan 2022 18:01:29
Common Red men!
02 Jan 2022 18:01:39
Vvvv haha
02 Jan 2022 18:02:06
It's why he's on though:-D
02 Jan 2022 18:02:18
Didnt think we will bottle that lead tbf
02 Jan 2022 18:02:21
keita with no urgency to close down then
02 Jan 2022 18:02:29
Keita doing absolutely **** all
02 Jan 2022 18:02:32
Sad pathetic prick Something Red reporting me to the EDs. Your a sad bastard
02 Jan 2022 18:02:34
been on for a minute and already strolling
02 Jan 2022 18:03:13
Guys a waster
02 Jan 2022 18:03:16
What??
02 Jan 2022 18:03:22
Does Mane ever get a free kick
02 Jan 2022 18:04:00
Oh come on
02 Jan 2022 18:04:02
it wasnt a freekick to be fair
02 Jan 2022 18:04:13
Fab has been poor
02 Jan 2022 18:04:26
fabinho just lost possession so many times
02 Jan 2022 18:04:47
Looked a free kick...I suppose I can't always be right :-P
02 Jan 2022 18:05:07
Danth. Him too. Once again our whole midfield today has been stale and poor. Got ran through and offered zero creativity to the forwards.
02 Jan 2022 18:05:19
And now I'll eat my words
02 Jan 2022 18:05:24
Seano, in fairness our midfield has lost the ball cheaply throughout the matcg
02 Jan 2022 18:05:30
They're closing Fab down fast
02 Jan 2022 18:05:38
Every now and again would be nice JL(rofl)
02 Jan 2022 18:05:48
true vvvv, but i hold fabinho to a high standard because he is so good
02 Jan 2022 18:06:20
All the midfield has been poor recently
02 Jan 2022 18:07:32
Been disappointed from kostas lack of balls into box myself since he's been given chances
02 Jan 2022 18:07:32
Very true Magico
02 Jan 2022 18:07:40
Our winner loading... Keith will score
02 Jan 2022 18:07:44
totally lead with the arm, its not a red or anything but definitely a foul
02 Jan 2022 18:08:02
Who is Keith?
02 Jan 2022 18:08:15
Navy Keith
02 Jan 2022 18:08:24
Lol you don't wanna know
02 Jan 2022 18:08:28
Keith? he's with the Rolling Stones
02 Jan 2022 18:08:44
So an elbow to the face is not always a bookable offense...
02 Jan 2022 18:08:47
Might be better aray
02 Jan 2022 18:09:03
Damn autocorrect. Keita
02 Jan 2022 18:09:26
Canā€™t see anything but a chelsea winner
02 Jan 2022 18:09:42
Can't see anything but a Liverpool win
02 Jan 2022 18:09:46
In years gone by this would be how a game between two challengers would play out and a draw would be fair, unfortunately city are a freak or nature with an abundance of talent
02 Jan 2022 18:09:48
I can't see a Chelsea winner
02 Jan 2022 18:09:54
rudiger class dive
02 Jan 2022 18:09:58
I think a draw. But it could have been worse.
02 Jan 2022 18:10:00
will refs every get onto his ****?
02 Jan 2022 18:10:06
er*
02 Jan 2022 18:10:13
ever**
02 Jan 2022 18:10:14
And also the refs wyred
02 Jan 2022 18:10:35
And another chelsea foul....oh my
02 Jan 2022 18:11:09
Oh ffs.
02 Jan 2022 18:11:11
Come on lads
02 Jan 2022 18:11:32
Clear dive. Joke decision
02 Jan 2022 18:11:36
Stupid foul
02 Jan 2022 18:11:36
How unfair if they score from this...
02 Jan 2022 18:11:40
Wow.....it's a foul even if you don't touch the other guy.......his imbalance is good enough
02 Jan 2022 18:11:57
This is when Var should step in...surely this is a clear and obvious error to award that foul
02 Jan 2022 18:11:58
Everyone knows Keita doesnā€™t challenge
02 Jan 2022 18:12:00
There was a touch on the knee
02 Jan 2022 18:12:05
Terrible
02 Jan 2022 18:12:08
Very lazy
02 Jan 2022 18:12:17
Wall did irs job
02 Jan 2022 18:12:21
That was a dive by Kovacic
02 Jan 2022 18:12:32
Dive for me
02 Jan 2022 18:12:50
Theyā€™ve been diving all afternoon
02 Jan 2022 18:12:52
Cmon qyred...not every touch is a foul
02 Jan 2022 18:13:01
Naby in true form has sauntered around since coming on like itā€™s a training match.
02 Jan 2022 18:13:08
The dives are getting ridiculous
02 Jan 2022 18:13:15
But it wasn't q dive either as there was contact
02 Jan 2022 18:13:17
why has ref decided to give them everything now?
02 Jan 2022 18:13:28
Also Ox has offered nothing but taking up space on the pitch
02 Jan 2022 18:13:31
Oh give over wyred
02 Jan 2022 18:13:34
Looks like we're gonna get done by another bent ref
02 Jan 2022 18:14:11
I'm waiting for one of them to trip over a blade of grass in the penalty area
02 Jan 2022 18:14:14
Think that brown envelope has been delivered
02 Jan 2022 18:14:28
There was a push. Canā€™t complain with the foul but never a yellow
02 Jan 2022 18:14:33
Can't keep blaming refs. We just lack the quality to see these games out. Our MF is a real issue and needs freshening up
02 Jan 2022 18:14:45
Taylor doesnā€™t need a brown envelope heā€™s a United fan from Altrincham
02 Jan 2022 18:15:37
Fingers crossed now......come on mo
02 Jan 2022 18:16:10
We are ball watching
02 Jan 2022 18:16:30
Blatant handball and the ref ignores it
02 Jan 2022 18:16:30
Even the players know they're not getting the decisions
02 Jan 2022 18:16:51
They'll get a pen
02 Jan 2022 18:16:55
The bias is astonishing
02 Jan 2022 18:17:25
Blaming refs again, ED25 was right, what are some here like
02 Jan 2022 18:17:35
were offering nothing
02 Jan 2022 18:17:39
Game has faded out for us. Only saving Grace is Salah needs one chance and we take all 3 points
02 Jan 2022 18:17:43
no possession, nothing
02 Jan 2022 18:18:02
Refs arent playing in midfield or fense for us
02 Jan 2022 18:18:19
What did we expect when we brought on Ox and Naby
02 Jan 2022 18:18:19
To many gaps
02 Jan 2022 18:18:29
Keita is just **** strolling
02 Jan 2022 18:18:45
Can't blame refs for us letting a 2 goal lead slip, again.
02 Jan 2022 18:18:47
Hes a joke keita
02 Jan 2022 18:18:50
Plus Covid only attacked us, lol
02 Jan 2022 18:18:52
Weā€™ll be lucky to get a draw
02 Jan 2022 18:19:12
Yep stone
02 Jan 2022 18:19:17
Must be Hendon off
02 Jan 2022 18:19:29
Nope I was wrong
02 Jan 2022 18:19:36
Sell Bobby to Villa for as much as possible and Gomez and buy a midfielder
02 Jan 2022 18:19:39
Not blaming the ref for the scoreline...just saying that the chelsea fouls are very soft
02 Jan 2022 18:20:02
Mane off instead of Hendo. Our subs have been baffling. Didnā€™t even realise Curtis was on the bench. But Ox and Naby come on before him
02 Jan 2022 18:20:10
McGoveb but then weā€™re a forward down and with the AFCON it makes no sense?
02 Jan 2022 18:20:22
Jones for the last minute or two?
02 Jan 2022 18:20:30
No strength in depth and keep running the first 11 into ground
02 Jan 2022 18:20:38
These midfielders make no sense
02 Jan 2022 18:21:06
Get it in the mixer!!!!
02 Jan 2022 18:21:18
Bobby has become a bit part player and only one worth anything
02 Jan 2022 18:21:25
Come on!!!
02 Jan 2022 18:21:25
Come on
02 Jan 2022 18:21:27
Poor corner
02 Jan 2022 18:21:30
Ffs poor corner
02 Jan 2022 18:21:37
I'm happy with a draw
02 Jan 2022 18:21:41
Poor
02 Jan 2022 18:21:44
Again!!!
02 Jan 2022 18:22:22
trents passing and eies have been today
02 Jan 2022 18:22:28
deliveries*
02 Jan 2022 18:22:30
Bad game!
02 Jan 2022 18:22:33
awful*
02 Jan 2022 18:22:37
What a waste
02 Jan 2022 18:22:48
The only reason you'd be happy for a draw is if you're settling for a top four place. This was a must win today and we led by 2 goals. Shambollic
02 Jan 2022 18:22:54
Bad game all round me thinks
02 Jan 2022 18:22:58
How did we blow that lead?
02 Jan 2022 18:23:01
1 more chance gents
02 Jan 2022 18:23:21
We've run these lot into the ground over last few years
02 Jan 2022 18:24:08
Pep landers is not shouting instructions well
02 Jan 2022 18:24:09
Hendo just keeps hitting the ball high and hopelessly
02 Jan 2022 18:24:23
Aging squad, no money to invest, strikers out of contract next year, not sure it gets much better for us
02 Jan 2022 18:24:27
Here comes the city love in from the media šŸ˜­
02 Jan 2022 18:24:53
I ainā€™t happy with a draw. We were 2-0 up with 5 mins to half time then instead of seeing out the half itā€™s 2-2. Poor game all round and squad depth is non existent. Midfield is poor and poor subs in my opinion. Anyways onto Arsenal in the Carabao Cup which is a must win for us
02 Jan 2022 18:24:55
a draw just about fair but chelsea probably the better team
02 Jan 2022 18:24:56
Very frustrating
02 Jan 2022 18:24:58
That concludes the league. Let's win the cups. Playing out best possible team.
02 Jan 2022 18:25:03
Mc were in the **** mate
02 Jan 2022 18:25:05
I will avoid any commentary to the next few days
02 Jan 2022 18:25:23
For*
02 Jan 2022 18:25:25
Toys out the pram time !
02 Jan 2022 18:25:34
Damp squib in the end
02 Jan 2022 18:25:42
No Klopp..
02 Jan 2022 18:25:45
Caraboa won't be easy without salah
02 Jan 2022 18:25:46
Get used to this lads.
02 Jan 2022 18:25:52
a draw away to chelsea isnt a terrible result, and we didnt play terribly, but we didnt play particularly well either and we allowed ourselves to be overrun in midfield at times
02 Jan 2022 18:25:56
We move! Mountainous advantage to City
02 Jan 2022 18:26:00
Flash, seriously it's a banter site, why are you here
02 Jan 2022 18:26:02
But weā€™re
02 Jan 2022 18:26:05
Difficult to win cups when playing like this. There doesn't seem to be any change up at all. Teams just sit back and play over the top or overload the wings
02 Jan 2022 18:26:08
It's really irritating to see how easily we are giving away points šŸ˜”
02 Jan 2022 18:26:17
SG8. šŸ’Æ letā€™s go all out for the Carabao Cup first. Then concentrate on the FA Cup and Champions League. The league has gone lads. Not being negative just being realistic.
02 Jan 2022 18:26:29
No Klopp. Players out with Covid. Preparations disturbed due to covid. Not the worst result I think
02 Jan 2022 18:26:46
2-0 up again. We keep doing it
02 Jan 2022 18:26:49
City have been gifted decision after decision, on top of having dodgy amounts of sponsorship money to assemble the best squad in the league - who'd have thought the deepest squad in the league would be top during a covid crisis?
02 Jan 2022 18:26:49
Like i said, 4-5 years ago a draw away to your rivals would be a good result. Unfortunately city are on one of their silly runs which makes it a mountain
02 Jan 2022 18:26:56
I'm here because I've got a right to be here. Don't like it ? Tough !
02 Jan 2022 18:27:09
Well, ****... Squandered a 2-0 lead and we leave with a single point... Honestly believe all our attention now must go towards cup competitions. If we win nothing, for the second year running, that will be really upsetting.
02 Jan 2022 18:27:42
Well done City enjoy the title
02 Jan 2022 18:27:55
It's a good result. Just not good enough to be in the run for the league. 3rd and a cup will do. šŸ‘
02 Jan 2022 18:28:12
Mango. Completely agree. People were turning their noses at the Carabao Cup but a trophy is a trophy. Can go another season with no silverware
02 Jan 2022 18:28:14
City can have the title, as long as they do not win the champs league, I will be reasonably content.
02 Jan 2022 18:28:21
3rd???? 2nd must be the worst that we aim for...
02 Jan 2022 18:28:33
Yep
02 Jan 2022 18:29:04
Wanted the league but need to adjust expectations now. Second place, Carabao cup and either the FA Cup or Champions League and we move onto next season
02 Jan 2022 18:29:08
2nd 3rd.doesnt really matter and Chelsea have just shown they are as good as us
02 Jan 2022 18:29:30
To be honest...I think Chelsea are more upset with this score. Under the circumstances...I'll take it
02 Jan 2022 18:29:42
Honestly that Carabao cup is massive. Weā€™ve gotta go all out for it, full team. Get that winning feeling back because I truly believe if we win nothing this season weā€™ll just fall out of the conversation for everything next season
02 Jan 2022 18:29:49
But for the red and a few dodgy calls yesterday, Arsenal would have won. Probab
02 Jan 2022 18:29:54
This could of been an amazing title fight if it wasn't for city being a different level. We are heading towards the French league if we are not careful. One team running a way with it more often then not
02 Jan 2022 18:30:00
Never say never
02 Jan 2022 18:30:17
A poor few performances on the trot now, thought Jotaā€™s hold up play and link up was really poor today. Hendo was shocking in midfield and just coasted through the game. On a positive GK played well and didnā€™t look nervous at all
02 Jan 2022 18:30:20
Like you Mango. As long as City donā€™t win the Champions League and we pick up a trophy or two then Iā€™m content. If City win the Champions League we wonā€™t hear the end of it.
02 Jan 2022 18:30:50
City get the "rub of the green"...but hey, let's not point any fingers at the officials
02 Jan 2022 18:31:03
It all comes down to money eventually. City can sustain their strength in depth as can Chelsea. We cannot
02 Jan 2022 18:31:46
Money won't always buy or guarantee success...but it helps
02 Jan 2022 18:32:07
Top teams tend to be perceived to get the rub of the green, but you make your own luck imo
02 Jan 2022 18:32:13
Last few games have really shown where we need to strengthen with a new no 9 and CM needed badly
02 Jan 2022 18:32:41
Until FSG are bought out, hopefully during a period when Klopp is still in charge, we will struggle to compete with City and Chelsea in player recruitment. If/When Klopp leaves, that will be the biggest test for Liverpool, by far. I doubt anyone could have achieved what Klopp has managed with us.
02 Jan 2022 18:32:54
And jlc, they have 50m players as depth the difference is crazy
02 Jan 2022 18:33:43
Money does buy success mate unfortunately, as has been shown for seasons past mate
02 Jan 2022 18:33:51
Like I said...money helps
02 Jan 2022 18:34:20
To win the league now you need to be getting 95+ bring back the days when high 80's was enough šŸ¤£
02 Jan 2022 18:34:27
FSG have backed us in the summer. There is going to be a time when a difficult conversation has to be had. Donā€™t back us and we fall further behind which we canā€™t afford to. We are already struggling to keep up with City. If City go out and get Haaland or someone then the league will become more one sided. Chelsea we also splash the cash in the summer and where does that leave us with usā€¦ with Sanches and Traore?
02 Jan 2022 18:34:55
Wyred, City can afford to place 100 million worth Jack Grealish on the bench. A player gets upset about opportunities, their owners just throw money at the problem. It is simple but a simple solution can always be found for simple problems. Silva wanted to leave, he stayed and is now potentially their most in form player. Sucks but that is the situation we now find ourselves in.
02 Jan 2022 18:35:26
Seems FSG's focus is scattered or elsewhere...they're now in legal tanglings over their purchase of that hockey team, the Penguins.......
02 Jan 2022 18:35:28
FSG have taken us as far as they can. There has to be a plan in place for a sale somewhere down the wire
02 Jan 2022 18:35:57
If Arseanl got the clear penalty yesterday...and City didn't get the clear penalty against Wolves...then the table looks different. That is not them making their own luck as those decisions were made by officials
02 Jan 2022 18:35:58
That's my point, 100m is more then entire squads in the league. Plus they almost added kane to that spend
02 Jan 2022 18:36:16
I was wondering how long it would be before the firs FSG out post. Comical !
02 Jan 2022 18:36:50
There's been no FSG post yet.....let's not go overboard.......
02 Jan 2022 18:36:55
Not to mention, FSG appear busy with trying to buy a new football club, apparently in Brazil.
02 Jan 2022 18:37:06
Then can they sell up. FSG has done well but like you said LiverpoolFC8 they have taken us as far as they can. Let us go and sell us to progress. Itā€™s frustrating hearing we donā€™t have any money and how will that change if we canā€™t compete.
02 Jan 2022 18:37:07
*FSG out post yet
02 Jan 2022 18:37:46
The grass isn't always greener with new owners, plus would we really want someone as questionable as the Saudis?
02 Jan 2022 18:37:52
Cesar complaining about the ref...really?
02 Jan 2022 18:38:07
Cesar is a wussie
02 Jan 2022 18:38:13
People are allowed other opinions to yours šŸ˜‚ you said we wasnā€™t in bad form 90 mins ago. Another draw after being 2-0 up. Great form
02 Jan 2022 18:39:32
I think FSG have done well. But we have no money. Will selling be the right idea, I donā€™t know. I donā€™t have the answers. More coming out of frustration because it seems we are stuck on a loop. Struggling to compete with City who have a bottomless pit of money. Need to improve the squad but donā€™t have even Ā£30 million to spare. I just want the club I love to compete and im struggling to see how we can do that when you hear we can afford a Ā£30 million player.
02 Jan 2022 18:39:36
And we're not in bad form. Back in September a load of you were gifting Chelsea the title as the were "unbeatable". We've just nearly beaten them at home, not what I call bad form at all
02 Jan 2022 18:40:05
Just hope covid doesnt shut out the fans again & have a huge effect the revenue
02 Jan 2022 18:41:12
this variant should be the last one hopefully....enough people have gotten it so we can get some serious herd immunity
02 Jan 2022 18:41:27
The issue is that the value of players has skyrocketed since FSG took Liverpool over, with PSG and City having changed the game in that respect. 30 million no longer buys you a guaranteed player, the figure has now been inflated to unsustainable limits. Not FSG's fault, but, they are out of their depth in supporting the club as a result.
02 Jan 2022 18:42:27
Unfortunately, as much as we think we are, we won't be the most attractive proposition for new buyers. There isn't too much growth in terms of revenue with us. Investors will look to other clubs where the return is potentially bigger
02 Jan 2022 18:42:50
Covid's effect on our finances is our biggest enemy at the moment. And FSG won't be looking to sell in a hurry
02 Jan 2022 18:43:08
Well
02 Jan 2022 18:44:19
*well we are stuck then as a squad needs refreshing and unfortunately that involves money
02 Jan 2022 18:44:31
*our
02 Jan 2022 18:45:02
I honestly think, if FSg want a good return on their investment, they have to sell soon. With prior knowledge, the best time would have been after the prem win and before covid. But, no one is able to rewind time. With an aging squad, little money to reinforce, FSG should consider selling because it will take a lot of money to reinvigorate this team...
02 Jan 2022 18:45:14
We need to mimick Chelsea model Imo. There youth system/loan is second to none and generates a load of funds
02 Jan 2022 18:45:51
Comical stuff
02 Jan 2022 18:45:54
Mango and WYred. Agree with both points
02 Jan 2022 18:46:02
This system works because they buy the best young talent and sends them on loan...we don't have the funds for.that
02 Jan 2022 18:46:14
Lfc mango, that may be so, but why would someone buy the club its a risk with potentially low returns. Unless you get someone like Ashley who strips the club of cash
02 Jan 2022 18:46:20
Chelsea have a fanatic model that Covid didnā€™t effect them in any way shape or form
02 Jan 2022 18:46:24
Wyred mate out potential is bigger then City, Chelsea, etc. It's FSG's fault our revenue hasn't grown much compare to ur rivals despite being the biggest & Most famous brand
02 Jan 2022 18:46:29
*fantastic
02 Jan 2022 18:47:55
I'm sure Roman's money helped chelsea through the pandemic
02 Jan 2022 18:48:19
The problem is very few would, Wyred, because the club and FSG by extension did not correctly plan for player development and progression. We achieved short term success but at a cost to longevity. Now, we find ourselves in an akward position. We need a buyer, but, we are not an enticing proposal to many.
02 Jan 2022 18:48:19
I'd love to agree kop but it's why city and Chelsea were bought. The scope of growth was bigger. I just don't think there is much on a business side to appeal but it's all about opinions
02 Jan 2022 18:48:24
Hahaha, the level of delusion is amazing. FSG have grown this club as a business immensely
02 Jan 2022 18:48:37
JLCBM. Ed2 said they are financial secure despite Covid due to their business model not Roman
02 Jan 2022 18:49:49
And who is Ed2 Alonso???? Just joking...ut he's money set them on that course though.
02 Jan 2022 18:50:10
They have flash, but from a point where it was on its knees. They saw an opportunity and took it
02 Jan 2022 18:50:33
Of course they did, and we benefited as a result
02 Jan 2022 18:51:25
JLCBM. As far as Iā€™m aware they have been self sustainable for ages now. Of course when he arrived his initial investment sent them on their way but their business model algaā€™s meant they generate profits without his investment
02 Jan 2022 18:52:08
I agree mate, I like fsg, I am thankful they stopped us from administration. But if they were to sell, I don't think there would be many takers imo
02 Jan 2022 18:52:08
*model meant
02 Jan 2022 18:52:27
Why are you discussing money? What about the football?
02 Jan 2022 18:52:27
Coz the owners of City & Chelsea spent lots of their own money to grow their revenue, where our owners are happy to just keep on rolling what we earn rather then use their own money to grow the business of our game
02 Jan 2022 18:53:00
I get that Alonso...but would they have been in this position if Roman never bought them? Money helps...but when you don't have it, then you wish you had an owner like FSG and a manager like Klopp
02 Jan 2022 18:53:06
Rigsby. The two go hand in hand unfortunately
02 Jan 2022 18:54:18
What do you know about the owners and their finances and our finances?
02 Jan 2022 18:54:41
City and Chelsea have owners who are bottomless pits of c.ash. We don't and the story ends there
02 Jan 2022 18:55:14
FSG are businessmen...Roman and the Saudis are sugar daddies looking for a hobby.
02 Jan 2022 18:55:17
JLCBM. They initially invested. I agree. But where they fell behind was their famous business model of spending future predicted earnings. Not many clubs do that at all which is why clubs like Brighton, yes Brighton are in a financial better situation than us despite Covid. Roman made the initial investment then realised how can I make this club financially secure with having to pour in my own money every year.
02 Jan 2022 18:55:47
*without having
02 Jan 2022 18:56:26
FSG have done well. I will be forever indebted. But why is it a crime to say they have taken us as far as they can.
02 Jan 2022 18:56:47
I think Swiss Ramble actually documented this kinda stuff, he even compared all the teams in the prem for the last few seasons.
02 Jan 2022 18:58:15
With all due respect though, Brighton aren't title challengers...so yes they might be financially better than us, but at the end of the day, would you rather have a better financial position or challenging for trophies?
02 Jan 2022 18:59:18
Yes Flash mate but now City or Chelsea don't need their owners money coz their business side is way beyond us. Hence once they acquired their respective clubs they started spending on infrastructure to expand their revenue/business side where our owners are just happy to roll the money what we earn hence ed2 has always been critical of our business side
02 Jan 2022 19:00:01
JLCMB. Who knows far better than us when it comes to the financial side has said our business model ainā€™t good and the reason we find ourselves struggling to by players in the Ā£30-Ā£40 million price range.
02 Jan 2022 19:00:31
*Ed2 who knows
02 Jan 2022 19:00:35
How realistic is it for us to get new owners? New owners that are going to spend like City and Chelsea?
02 Jan 2022 19:01:06
Totally unrealistic is the answer to that
02 Jan 2022 19:03:03
Not anytime soon Rigsby mate .. our value atm is 3/4 billion from 300M. No owner is going to spend that kind of money to acquire us & top of that spend more on our squad which badly needs
02 Jan 2022 19:03:17
And the calls for new owners usually follows a defeat or a draw. Today's was a draw away against a team above us in the League.
02 Jan 2022 19:05:14
It could be worse. We could be Newcastle with millions to spend on players that don't want to go there.
02 Jan 2022 19:05:35
Rigsby mate it's not only abt today or draw. Think it's more to do with long-term as ed2 keeps on saying we've half of squad & superstars at wrong age of their side & we need to refresh that coz we've left it too late
02 Jan 2022 19:05:52
So if FSG change our business model, will they then be seen as better owners? Don't get me wrong, I just want to understand what is needed to take us forward
02 Jan 2022 19:06:06
Rigsby. Iā€™m looking it all aspects. Not a knee jerk reaction. I have said for a while now our squad needs freshening up. Surely we agree on that? If we do how do we improve our ageing squad unless clubs are accepting Monopoly money for their players. Our business model is poor Ed2 has said that for years now. We won the champions league and league yet still find ourselves skint.
02 Jan 2022 19:06:58
The squad needs an improvement here and there, but to say it needs an major overhaul or a massive cash injection is just sheer exaggeration
02 Jan 2022 19:09:01
Covid put a dent in our finances. And the stadium extensions don't pay for themselves, and aren't cheap either
02 Jan 2022 19:09:11
FlashTheRed. To challenge for the title next season. Who in the midfield do you think is sufficient enough in terms of quality? This is a serious question btw not an attack.
02 Jan 2022 19:09:12
Think the squad very soon will need to replace Salah & Mane in itself is a big ask forget squad members like Milner, Thiago, OX etc who are getting older & older
02 Jan 2022 19:10:12
The fact that weā€™ve got two of our most important players (Salah & Mane) entering the final 18 months of their contracts with no sign of renewal is a very big concern, thereā€™s no way we can remotely afford to replace them adequately. Today showed we desperately need some more quality in midfield.
02 Jan 2022 19:11:09
If we havenā€™t got Salah & Mane signed up within the next six months then theyā€™re off. Either for peanuts in the summer or a free next year.
02 Jan 2022 19:12:31
Not to mention Mane is 30 in a few months and contract expires next year. Salah is yet to sign and his contract also expires next year. Hendo is aging, Milner is 35 and going in the summer. Thiago ainā€™t getting any younger. Ox and Naby in terms of quality are not it. Bobby ainā€™t getting any younger and is on the decline form wise.
02 Jan 2022 19:12:39
Even signing them isn't going to do much coz in 2-3 seasons will be facing the same problems of replacing them especially Mane, & midfield for a start
02 Jan 2022 19:12:46
I think they're all sufficient in terms of quality. It would be hard to improve on what we have without spending large sums of cash that we don't currently have
02 Jan 2022 19:12:56
And if we sign them up...what then? Do we sell them in a couple of years time and hope to make some money? Covid has dented our plans more than we will ever know
02 Jan 2022 19:13:47
FlashTheRed. Okay fair enough I respect your opinion. Thatā€™s where we agree to disagree in terms of the quality of our midfield.
02 Jan 2022 19:14:14
If we sell Salah & Mane in the summer weā€™ll get the square root of eff all for them.
02 Jan 2022 19:14:17
I think we would have sold at least either Mane or Salah 2 years back or even last season, and a rebuild would've started but covid put the brakes on that
02 Jan 2022 19:14:33
Exactly flash mate coz from Hendo, OX, Thiago, Milner, Salah, Mane all will need to be replaced in 2 seasons & at the same time will need to hold on top 4 tho
02 Jan 2022 19:14:45
Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott are just a couple of names for next season.
02 Jan 2022 19:15:10
The rumours are that the club are seriously considering moving for Dembele and Traore as replacements. I canā€™t begin to tell you how nauseous that makes me feel.
02 Jan 2022 19:15:57
I would take Sako and Sarr VVVVVVVV....
02 Jan 2022 19:16:09
We canā€™t afford either.
02 Jan 2022 19:16:35
JLCBM. Covid dented most clubs plans. But ours more so due to our business model.. otherwise like Chelsea came through unscathed due to their business model. We either change or business model and spend this summer or accept being a top for club as opposed to title challengers
02 Jan 2022 19:16:35
Sako and Sarr are well out of our price range.
02 Jan 2022 19:17:33
We'd be title challengers if City were not s
02 Jan 2022 19:17:41
*other clubs like Chelsea
02 Jan 2022 19:17:43
Sako is going to coast more then 70M .. he's up the with Bellingham etc
02 Jan 2022 19:18:12
Chelsea, as per FFP, also benefitted from their transfer ban....so had some extra cash to spend....but I understand the issue with the business model, and I'm interested in how it is resolved
02 Jan 2022 19:18:21
As strong as they are. But they are unbelievably strong. Is being top four challengers that bad?
02 Jan 2022 19:18:32
And Watfordā€™s owner would add Ā£20m to any price be quoted elsewhere as he hates FSG. Heā€™s already told Newcastle he wants Ā£85m+
02 Jan 2022 19:19:25
Newcastle are going to over pay for every player right now....
02 Jan 2022 19:19:44
Problem is Rigsby, one season outside the champions league and weā€™re f***ed
02 Jan 2022 19:20:19
Can we sell Ox and Naby to Newcastle in that case šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 19:21:17
I reckon they'd be tempted....(giggle)
02 Jan 2022 19:21:28
Not even the Geordies would be that daft
02 Jan 2022 19:21:36
JLCBM how can a team benefit from Transfer ban ? Lol they benefited coz they've unbelievable talent around the globe thx to their youth/business model of buying best Young talent & selling for massive profits
02 Jan 2022 19:22:14
Rigsby. Top four challenge will be bad for us. Not winning trophies means less money generated. We become a less attractive destination for players and we risk slipping away in the same way Man U didnā€™t for years. If we had a young squad we wouldnā€™t have this fear but we donā€™t. Just hope FSG splash the cash but Iā€™m not holding my breath
02 Jan 2022 19:22:41
*did for years
02 Jan 2022 19:23:59
KopForever...Chelsea had the benefit of saving the money from those windows to go and spend on Havertz, Pulisic, and a couple more...
02 Jan 2022 19:25:51
How many windows we haven't spend ? When was the last time we spent big ?? Like Chelsea we should've saved money to spend then ??šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚
02 Jan 2022 19:26:28
Chelsea can sell so many players of their players for a good return itā€™s actually embarrassing. Outside of Trent, VVD, Allison and Salah we donā€™t have players we can flog for a decent return.. there also lies our problem
02 Jan 2022 19:27:01
Exactly Alonso mate
02 Jan 2022 19:29:36
Which Chelsea players...not much more than us if you think about it
02 Jan 2022 19:33:18
Just look on TM every season Chelsea sales reserves/Young talent bring over 100M of worth in-terms of cash lol
02 Jan 2022 19:34:08
And how much has Abramovic bankrolled Chelsea for to this point ?
02 Jan 2022 19:36:11
What is TM??? I was talking about Chelsea's main squad against ours....I understand their business model of buy the best young talent, loan them out and sell them for a profit....
02 Jan 2022 19:36:51
Funnily enough, we splashed the cash on Keita and Ox.
02 Jan 2022 19:38:34
And vvd, Alison, Salah, Mane, Jota, Thiago to an extent...its not like we haven't spent
02 Jan 2022 19:38:51
Think he bankrolled Chelsea when he bought them for few seasons then turned them in to financial beast which can compete against any team in-terms of finance. Same with City they bankrolled them for few seasons & turned then in to financial beast by improving infrastructure massively
02 Jan 2022 19:40:32
Yes we spent couts money that's like 5 yrs ago šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚ hence Salah & Mane are older now lol.
